Man... what a BIG discussion... whew!
Early on with my K3, I found that having two speakers (L & R) plugged into the
rear panel SPKR jack of the K3 was turning out to be a real P.I.T.A.
I had two speakers, with somewhat lengthy (though folded up and tied) leads
which extended left and right acros

removing the top cover and inspecting the side of the KIO3

We'll have numerous old/new straight keys on display, a sta

The MVDXCC web page is a bit "busy"... and the link to the newsletter might
be missed by some. The link directly to your article is:

THanks.

PW-1 with their K3? If so, please contact me a.s.a.p.
so I can exchange some info with you. Specifically I need to know what it
took to interface the two devices and to get them to function without any
hiccups.
Appreciated.

Personally, I like the UNamplified Motorola Mobile Speakers. I
bought a pair of
them a month or so ago for about $9 each, not including shipping, off EBay.
They're 8-Ohm (wish they were 4 Ohms though) but give a very nice sounding
audio and the black color goes nicely with the K3.

During the CQWW CW we used my K3 at PI4D and tried out the AFX.
Very nice feature when the frequency is as crowded as in the CQWW.
Pity the sidetone (monitor) is normal mono.
ONLY if you are using a single speaker. With dual speakers, AFX works nicely!
I suggest that if AFX is enable
d it to key the AMP's T-R line and
NEVER again had a problem. The TS-930S also had a built-in slight delay in
generated RF following T-R line closure.
I now key my K3 and allow it to key the QSK amp, again, with no complaints
from ANYONE, and the keying is as clean as a pin.
Cheers,
Tom Hammond
've even gone to the point of considering trying to replace the OEM
headphone elements with some small 8-Ohm speakers... haven't done it (yet)
but it's certainly been on my agenda to research.

Well, I didn't do was well as I'd hoped, but it's not the fault of

Hi Monty:
I just added a jumper around (well, actually over) my L4. No need to risk
possible PCB damage by completely removing the RFCs.

Hi Drew:
I sometimes take my K3 for a visit to a neighboring SW band.
When I'm finished SWLing, I just press [A/B] to swap the (still-in-ham-band)
VFO B freq with VFO A and then press [A>B] to reset VFO A back to ham
band as well.
Two buttons, no problems.

o operate both stations
on the same band as in the past.
While this does not address QRO operation, it may help give you an idea of
what you might expect, given the proximity of the dipoles to each other.
